I'm Doing Fine Podcast: Season Two
I'm Doing Fine Podcast
“If we were to ask you “how are you?” How likely are you to say “I’m doing fine.” At the GVSU Counseling Center, we are aware of how easy it is to get stuck in the habit. With the “I'm doing fine” podcast we show students how to mind their health, practice self-care, and accept the fact that sometimes, you just can’t do it alone. So, get ready to plug into your mental health! Because sometimes, you aren’t doing fine.”
